You'll need a bigger hard drive, my friend. Preferably an internal one rather than those USB-based ones because loading time is noticably higher when the sim is installed on the USB ones due to the time it takes for the information to be processed through the USB connector.

Also, because most games are becoming more cocmplex and more detailed in the gaming industry, it shouldn't surprise you that the sim will measure 14GB.

And most of us already have WAY more than 14GB of FS9, within 2 months (yes I said 2 months) of getting FS most people will have added at least 1 gigabyte onto FS, if not more

My fs9 folder is approaching 40gb. Anyway, does space really matter? Harddisks are cheap, 14gb is nothing to you're average 160gb drive, and if you need more, buy a bigger one Wink

Actually, from my personal experience, that is not true...I have a 400GB USB HDD and it performs better than my internal one...loading times are much faster...the same scenery with the same add-ons took at least 30 seconds to load...compared to my new FS9 installation, that was cut down to around 15-20 seconds...reasonably faster..

Well, I said what I said from experience. I have an external HD [250GB] with FS2004 installed and it seemed to perform poorly in the external one compared to being run from the internal one.

Beta 3 was 13.7gb with the Carenado 206 and a couple dozen gauges installed...figure 13.6~ish clean install.

That is why it comes on 2 DVDs...

about the hard drive thing.

I don't think it is SATA, cuz they can go 3Gb/s. I think its the old IDE, like i still hav now. Gonna get SATA tho.

&&FS Water Configurator+ has new modifications in the works, plus DirectX 10, Service Pack&&1, and Radeon HD 3+ Series support.
